Here’s a tip I read last week when I was reading about pull-ups and chin-ups. Apparently by using this tip, chin-ups will “feel” easier. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Check it out:

Rather than thinking about pulling yourself up when you do chin-ups, imagine pulling your elbows down instead. In theory, this will make the exercise seem “easier”.

I tried it, and I suppose it worked. Sort of takes your mind away from the idea of pulling your chin up over the bar, and focuses your attention on something doesn’t “seem” as hard.
